Media Reviews
Don Quixote, a poor gentleman of La Mancha, a man of gentle and amiable disposition and otherwise sane, has had his wits disordered by inordinate devotion to the tales of chivalry, and imagines himself called upon to roam the world in search of adventures on his old horse, Rosinante, and accoutred in rusty armour, accompanied by a squire in the shape of rustic Sancho Panza... -Oxford Companion to English Literature
Author Bio
Miguel de Saavedra Cervantes (1547-1616), the celebrated Spanish novelist and dramatist, was born in Alcala of an ancient but impecunious family. He lost the use of his left hand at the battle of Lepanto (1571) and was taken by pirates in 1575, spending the next five years a prisoner in Algiers. The remainder of his life was, for the greater part, a struggle to earn a living from literature and humble government employment.
